Re: Tuning MGA vs. MGB (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2002 10:56:50 EDT; No point guessing about rear wheel power - it's the performance that tells the tale,and with the low weight of the Elva, yours was certainly going to be pretty good.

Nice that it is still faster than the B, even so. I used to run my MGA i; /html/mgs/2002-09/msg00941.html (8,627 bytes)

Re: MGB spinon filter adapters (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Tue, 6 Aug 2002 17:46:26 EDT; Standing fit filters are undesirable because they normally don't have an internal anti-drain down valve, or if they do, it doesn't work.

313. Re: Evolving OD problem (early OD) (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Wed, 7 Aug 2002 11:55:07 EDT; There should be a switch on the transmission that disables the solenoid when the gear lever is in anything but the 3rd/4th plane.
